Surface Tension

Stuck in traffic at 7AM today, fortunately I had a view.  I was in the middle of the Sewickley Bridge spanning the Ohio river.  OK its a pretty dirty stretch of water,  but for this moment, it wasn't half bad.  Pardon the cliché but the water was smooth as glass and gave a perfect reflection of both shore lines as well as a mirror image of the sunrise.  And I couldn't help but search the water for ripples of rising fish.  Then from the back seat comes a robust shout "Dada!",  my attention quickly turns to my rearview mirror to see my son smiling and pointing at himself once again exclaiming "Dada!". Yep, it was awesome to be stuck in traffic today.
